I envy that position.

Feels like because I didn’t work in go or python at my most recent job, I’m having trouble landing anything. (I have 5 years of golang prior to my most recent job)

My experience working in devops doesn’t seem to matter for SE positions either.



I do freelance gigs. And I charge what's "enough" for me, so price may play a role. And so I have several gigs a year. I'm on my third for 2024.

I give talks on meetups and conferences, so my insights are seen.

I prefer to work in start- or scale ups, so there's a real need for some "know it all".


How did you get started doing that?

It might just be the area I live in, but I wouldn’t even know how to start looking for freelance roles that aren’t just poorly paid 3mo junior contracts.
